Five new coronavirus (COVID-19) cases were reported in Fresno County on Tuesday, bringing the county’s total up to 18.We don't get visitors except along the freeway. Hence, watch this county as it enters phase two and see if statistics improve. I suspect cases much larger as the homeless camps are not tested many of them migrate. If this were the flu we would already have about four deaths and hundreds of cases.
“The clouds are gathering and we are in for some ominous times,” said Rais Vohra, interim health officer of the Fresno County Department of Public Health, during a 4 p.m. conference. “I don’t want to beat around the bush about that.”
Six cases were described as travel-related, two were contracted person-to-person, and 10 are under investigation, officials said.
David Pomaville, director of the Fresno County Department of Public Health, said the county had about 200 coronavirus test kits available on Tuesday, and that “as we use them, they are being replenished.” Pomaville said tests will be more available in the “upcoming weeks.”
Vohra said Fresno County has gone from containment to mitigation, and that more cases are expected. He said it’s unclear when coronavirus cases will peak in Fresno County, but that the county and central San Joaquin Valley appear to be “several days to perhaps a week behind” patterns seen in more populated metropolitan areas like the Bay Area.
Fresno did an early lock down and with only 18 cases the emergency rooms are not spreading the disease. The key is to treat this at home unless respiratory distress happens. Obamacare is not helping. Obamacare has been driving the sick to emergency rooms, the lock down stopped that absurd practice and saved lives.
